Had a busy day yesterday-Tracy only worked a half day so we did all the "back to school part 2" shopping. Mostly new jeans for all the monsters and some "needed" accessories for fashion conscious female monsters-guys wardrobes are lots cheaper, but we usually shop thrift stores so it saves lots-back to school 1+2 only time we start off looking at new things.

Started new diet plan with annie yesterday and I felt better when I woke this morning-yeah! Positive reinforcement for change is always cool! Yesterday I had a lovely greens salad that my lovely wife made me-felt pampered! And then for dinner I had pinto beans topped with cheddar and red onion, salad, abt 1/4 cup fried potatoes, and a broiled chicken breast.

Annie is feeling the lack of baked goods but we shopped together and found some stuff she can eat (and some surprising things she can't! There is soy in most frozen french fries and soy and corn starch in ranch dressing!) Just the first couple of detoxing weeks have to be so strict, then I think ranch dressing will be fine as long as she stays gluten free-she's not up yet-hope she feels positively reinforced too-but one of her brothers made a cake late last night and left it on the table-heavy, heavy sigh....:)
